Woot Relaunches Apple Watch Band Sale From $15, Cutting Ultra Loops to $35

Q: Are Apple's 69% off watch bands a true bargain or just clearance of unpopular, outdated colors?

They are a real bargain, but they are also clearly a clearance sale of discontinued colors and limited sizes. The value is genuine because these are official Apple bands, sold new through Woot, with a one-year Apple limited warranty and Prime shipping. Discounts are steep: Sport Bands at $15 from $49, Sport Loops at $20 from $49, and Ultra Trail Loop and Alpine Loop models at $35 from $99. For buyers who already own a compatible Apple Watch, that is far below normal Apple pricing for first-party accessories. At the same time, this is not a broad sale on Apple’s latest band lineup. The available stock is concentrated in colors Apple no longer sells, and some size and color combinations are already scarce. That strongly suggests inventory cleanup rather than a price reset on current favorites. That does not make the deal less worthwhile. Older colors do not change the quality, comfort, or compatibility of the bands. Sport Bands and Sport Loops remain practical for workouts and daily wear, while the Ultra Trail Loop and Alpine Loop are still premium options for 49mm Ultra models, including newer generations that use the same connector system. The catch is fit and preference. Buyers need to confirm case-size compatibility and be comfortable with a discontinued colorway. If you want the newest seasonal colors, this sale is not for you. If you want authentic Apple bands at unusually low prices and do not mind older colors, it is a strong clearance bargain.

$15 Apple Watch Sport Bands and $35 Ultra Trail and Alpine Loops headline Woot’s relaunched clearance sale on official Apple accessories.
Those prices mark steep discounts from original tags of $49 for Sport Bands and Sport Loops and $99 for the Ultra Trail and Alpine Loop models.
Multiple sizes and colors remain available for some Sport Bands, but the selection is narrower than the previous run and several configurations are already selling out.
The relaunch largely repeats the same pricing and models as Woot’s last band promotion, resurfacing as early Prime Day deal activity picks up.
